In this volume, Richard J. Clifford seeks to make the biblical
wisdom literature intelligible to modern readers. It is easy to
quote the occasional proverb, say a few things about "the problem
of evil" in Job, or quote "vanity of vanities, " but far more
rewarding to read the whole book with an appreciative and informed
eye.
Opening chapters of The Wisdom Literature comment on the
striking similarities between ancient and modern "wisdom
literature" and on the comparable literature from ancient
Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Canaan. Thereafter, a chapter is devoted to
each biblical wisdom book (Proverbs, Job, Ecclesiastes, Song of
Songs, Sirach, and Wisdom of Solomon), studying not only its
content but also its rhetoric -- how it engages the reader.
